Dynamic gill and mucus microbiomes during a gill disease episode in farmed Atlantic salmon
Birlanga, Victor B.; McCormack, Grace; Ijaz, Umer Z.; MacCarthy, Eugene; Smith, Cindy; Collins, Gavin (2022-10-06)Amoebic gill disease (AGD) and complex gill disease (CGD) are recurrent gill disorders in Atlantic salmon, resulting in significant aquaculture losses. The role of gill microbiomes in gill disease development is unclear. ... -
Effects of selected post harvest processes on brown crab (Cancerpagurus L.) and European lobster (Homarus gammarus L.) from Irish Crustacean Fisheries
Welsh, Jennifer E. (Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2010)The crustacean fishery is important to the socio economics of rural and island communities around Ireland; with brown crab (Cancer pagurus) and European lobster (.Homarus gammarus) being the most valuable shellfish species. ... -
Gill disease in finfish aquaculture with emphasis on amoebic gill disease
Downes, Jamie Kian (Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, 2017-08)Gill disease is one of the most significant challenges facing global salmon aquaculture and in terms of economic impact; amoebic gill disease (AGD) caused by the free living protozoan Neoparamoeba perurans is perhaps the ... -
Investigation into the potential use of dietary supplementation to reduce the impact of Amoebic Gill Disease
Talbot, Anita; McCormack, Michelle; Dwivedi, Ankit; O'Connor, Ian; Valdenegro, Victoria; MacCarthy, Eugene (Elsevier Ltd, 2022-02-03)Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD) is a disease affecting cultured Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) which is caused by Paramoeba perurans. The immunomodulatory impact of functional foods has previously been demonstrated in salmon. ... -
Investigation of the Initial Host Response of Naïve Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) Inoculated with Paramoeba perurans
McCormack, Michelle; Dillon, Eugene; O'Connor, Ian; MacCarthy, Eugene (MDPI, 2021-04-02)Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD), caused by the ectoparasite Paramoeba perurans is characterised by hyperplasia of the gill epithelium and lamellar fusion. In this study, the initial host response of naïve Atlantic salmon (Salmo ... -
Investigation of the transcriptomic response in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) gill exposed to Paramoeba perurans during early onset of disease
Talbot, Anita; Gargan, Laura; Moran, Grainne; Prudent, Louis; O'Connor, Ian; Mirimin, Luca; Carlsson, Jens; MacCarthy, Eugene (Springer Nature, 2021-10-19)Amoebic Gill Disease (AGD), caused by the protozoan extracellular parasite Paramoeba perurans (P. perurans) is a disease affecting Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). This study investigated the gill transcriptomic profile of ...
